Hostile Fire Detection System (HFDS) – High Speed
Abstract
This is a high speed infrared imaging system designed to identify the location of a small arms shooter. This technology is a significant improvement over current technologies because it provides a 360 degree field of view and a high frame rate (10,000 frames/second) detector. The high frame rate has been shown experimentally to reduce the number of false positives. This project is a follow on effort to the first HFDS proof of concept effort and will provide initial test units for firing range testing, with a proposed follow on hardened prototype fielding into the Afghanistan and/or Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) theaters.
